Fletcher to Gilbert Earl of Shrowsbury and was lately the Inheritance of the Earl of Kingston by the name of Everingham Fee and remains yet to his son the Marquess of Dorchester as I take it Raph Hanselin had a son of his own name who had a daughter and heir called Rosa married to Thomas Bardul who 18 H. 2. gave account of 25l. of the Scutage of the Knights of the Fee of Raph Hanselin his son and heir was Dodo or Doun Bardulf 11 Ioh.

Mering father of William Mering Father of Thomas Mering of Newark as I guess to whom King Richard the third by his Letters Patents dated the fourth of March in the second year of his Reign granted the Mannors of Raunardwyke Ikylford and Piryton in the County of Hartford and Lands in Arkesey in the County of Bedford which were Sir Roger Towcotes Knight then a Rebell to have to him and the heirs Males of his body and likewise Father of Sir William Mering who was thrice married one of his Wives I suppose to be Agnes heir of Henry Gloucester of Carcolston by whom he had Iohn Mering who married Katherin one of the eight sisters and co-heirs of Sir Iohn Hercy of Grove and by her had Francis Thomas and Iohn besides Sir William Mering who had to wife Margaret the daughter of Thomas Cave of Stanford and by her three sons Thomas William and Ambrose and many daughters but of them I can say no more saving that this Lordship was sold to George Earl of Shrowsbury and is now the possession of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle Now some begin to esteem it out of this Wapentac but in Nomina Villarum there was no doubt of it for there 't is joyn'd with Gretton as in that place is noted Colingham North and South BEfore the Normans invaded this Country St Peter of Burgh had a Mannor in Colingeham rated to the publick payment of that time at four Car. and half a Bovat The Land whereof was then certified to be fourteen Car. There when King William made his great Survey in Demesne were two Car. and thirty seven Sochm. on two Car. and three Bovats of this Land and eight Villains and twenty Bordars having fourteen Car. There was a Priest and two Churches and two Mills 20s. and two hundred Acres of Medow small Wood two qu. long and 1 qu. broad This continued the former value 9l. Here was some part also which went with Shelton of Raph de Limesies Fee and some part was accounted of Richmond Fee but the main of both the Towns continued to the Abbat of Peterborow who had Free Warren granted here 35 H. 3. Yet the Bishop of Lincolne 14 E. 1. complained of him that he had set up Gallows at Collingham and there hanged a Thief to the derogation of the liberty of his Wapentach of Newark which the Bishop held of the grant of the Kings Predecessours to which the Abbat answered That the Kings Father in the thirty seventh year of his Reign granted to him and his Successours Infangthef and Utfangthef in all his Hundreds and Demesnes and so he avowed his Gallows and complained against the Bishop That he took two Horses and six Cows at Newark and drove them to his Parc or Pound and there detained them The Bishop pleaded that he held the Wapentac of the gift of the King within which are the two Towns of Collingham which the said Abbat held and for which he ought to make suit at the said Wapentac by three men of each Town from three weeks to three weeks and because the suit was with-drawn he took the Horses and Kine at last they agreed the Abbat being constrained to pull down his Gallows and submit The Bishop of Lincoln 10 E. 3. impleaded divers men of North and South Colingham for that when his Bayly had taken divers Cattel of several condemned and out-law'd persons of the said Towns same whereof were hanged as the Goods of Felon◠and Fugitives belonging to him in right of his Wapentac of Newark and impounded them the said men broke the Pound and took the Cattel and had them away for which they answer They are not culpable but the Agreement before mentioned 14 E. 1. between Oliver Bishop of Lincolne and the Abbat will end the strife The Grand Assise 53 H. 3. at Darby between Rob. de Collingham and Iohn de Hyrst Compl. and Walter son of Galfr. and Walter de Markham concerning Common of Pasture which the two Walters exacted in the Lands of the said Robert and Iohn in Collingham was respited till the Octaves of St. Michael at Leicester because Nicholas de Eyvill Robert de Markham Robert de Burstall Richard de Weston Benedict de Rolleston Richard de Grey Raph Barry Philip de Colewick Bryan de Herdeby Simon de Gringeley Walter de Touk Thomas de Bella aquâ Galfr. de Staunton Robert de Stokes Iohn de Vilers Roger de Alneto Knights chosen came not and were therefore amerced Here was a Mannor in North Colingham which the Leeks of Landforth held of the Abbat of Peterburgh These Towns still belong to that Church and the Honourable Anchetill Grey son of Henry Earl of Stanford is the Grand Lessee he married Anne the eldest of the three daughters and co-heirs of Sir Henry Willoughby of Risley in Darbishire the relict of Sir Thomas Aston and mother of Sir Willoughby Aston The Rectory of South Collingham was 20l. when the Abbat of Peterburgh was Patron 'T is now 14l. 1s. 10d. in the Kings Books and the Bishop of Peterburgh Patron The Vicarage of North Collingham was 8l. when the said Abbat was Patron 'T is now in the Kings Books 8l. 19s. 2d. and the Dean and Chapter of Peterborow Patrons The holy Abbess St. Ebba and her Nuns who defaced themselves lest they should be deflowred by the Heathen Danes are reported to have had their residence at Collingham but I having seen nothing certain of it must leave her to Coldingham in Scotland a Cell of Durrham where there is more certain notice of her Dernethorpe Dordenthorpe MOst of this Hamlet seems to be involved in Collingham yet the Book of Dooms-day shows part of it to be of the Soc of Houton of the Fee of Raph de Limesi which was rated to the Geld or Tax at one Bov.

Halls George Halls Father sold it to Robert Earl of Kingston Sampson de Strelley had a son named Richard by a former wife Progenitor of the Strelleys of Woodborough who it seems had some share here for the heirs of Richard Strelley accounted for 2s. 6d. for the eighth part of a Knights Fee here 3 H. 4. to the Aid for Marrying Blanch that Kings eldest daughter And Queen Elizabeth 18 Iune in the 41 year of her Reign granted among other things a Capital Mess. here with Lands here and in Bridgeford at the Bridge end parcell of the possessions of Robert Strelley of the yearly value of ivl. viis. ivd. reserving that Rent to Sir Henry Pierponte and his heirs who was Grandfather of the before named Henry Marquess of Dorchester The Church of Bryggford the Parish whereof extendeth into Gamelston Basingfeild and Adbolton was 14l. value when Mr. Thymbylby was Patron But is now 16l. 13s. 2d. in the Kings Books and the Marquess of Dorchester Patron The Rectory of Adbolton was 10l. and Mr. Rosell Patron And is now the Town being wholly enclosed 2l. 13s. 9d. in the Kings Books and the said Marquess Patron and is shrunk to a Vicarage but I have not seen how Edwalton Eadwalds Town OF Rogerius Pictavensis Fee here was a Mannor which Stepi had before he and the Normans came and paid for it to the general Taxation as six Bovats The Land was twelve Bovats There was in Demesne when Doomsday Book was made one Car. one Vill. sixteen Acres of Medow In the Confessours time it was 30s. value then 10s.

It lay to Stoctun Robert son of or Fitz-Ranulph who was High Sheriff of these Counties 12 H. 2. and so much a zealous Servant of the King that he is reported how truely I know not to be one of those who committed that foul Murder on Thomas Beckett the Arch-bishop of Canterbury for which besides two others he built the Abby of Beauchief in Darbyshire to which he gave this Church together with the Churches of Norton and Alfreton and Wymundeswold those Lordships continued long with his Posterity and this doth still Thomas de Chaworth one of the heirs of the Barony of Alferton 41 H. 3. had Free Warren granted in Marneham Chaworth Edwalton and Osberton in this County in Alferton and Norton in Darbyshire and the like in other places of his estate in Leicester and York-shires The Family of Latham of Lancashire was the other heir of which Robert de Latham is said to hold half a Knights Fee here of the Earl of Leicester who married Petronilla heir of Grentemaisnil of the old Feoffment which I suppose was but in the minority of Thomas Chaworth whose heir Male Patricius Viscount Chaworth of Armagh in the Kingdom of Ireland now enjoyes it by descent from Engelram Father of Ranulph Father of Robert first mentioned which Engelram was enfeoffed thereof by the said Hugo Grentemaisnil as I guess in the time of H. 1. Thomas de Chaworth 16 E. 1. was to pay 30s. per annum to the Prior of Merton according to a Fine levyed 53 H. 3. by Robert de Auferton his Uncle whose heir he was for Tenements in Edwolton which Robert I think should be Thomas rot pip 26 H. 3. Raph Basset of Drayton is found 25 E. 1. to hold the third part of a Knights Fee here of the Honour of Leicester But it seems that Thomas Chaworth 17 E. 3. held it of the Lord Basset The present Lord Chaworth is also an heir of the Lord Basset as in Wiverton or Marneham is more particularly shown where the Descent of that Noble Family is inserted This is now thought to be in the Parish of Ruddington and my Lord Chaworth bought some Lands here of the R.

H. 3. which William Grey his great Grandchild claimed 3 E. 3.

Chinelton Kineldestowe and Newbold PArt of this Town in the Book of Doomsday is said to be of Walter de Ayncurts Fee and of the Soc of Graneby where his Seat was in this County it was rated to the Tax or Geld as seven Bovats The Land was two Carucats There was nine Sochm. four Bord. having three Car. or Plows and seven Oxen plowing or draught Oxen and twenty Acres of Medow Another part of Chinelton is there certified to be of the Land of the Taynes where one Azor before the Conquest was rated to the Dane-geld at one Bov. for his Mannor The Land whereof was three Bovats The son of Azor held it afterwards of the King and there had three Vill. with three Oxen plowing and three Acres of Medow In King Edward the Confessours time the value of this was 10s. in the Conquerours 2s. 8d. By what appears in Hickling it may well be concluded that the Family of Fancurt held Deyncourts Fee in this place but it is certain enough that Gerard de Fancourt held a Knights Feâ— of Oliver de Aynecurt in Hickling and Kinalton Adam de Sutton Prior of Thurgarton for 18s. of Silver yearly by the consent of the whole Covent granted and confirmed to Raph de Fanecurt all the Land which the said Raph held in the Town and Territory of Kinalton of Sir Gerard son of Sir Elias de Fanecurt Elias de Franencurth gave twelve Bovats in the Territory of Newbold to the Abby of Swinshead in Lincolnshire which King Henry the second confirmed as he did also in this same place of the gift of William de Vilers and Paganus his son two Carucats of Land and two Bovats and an half and Keteleswang and Holeboldeswang and seventeen Acres of Land at Cranemere and four Tofts with Crofts and the whole Brusâ—am Brouse which belonged to Neubold In Doomsday Book there is mention of Newbold in those daies a very considerable place but now 't is well-nigh lost
between this Lordship and Colston Bassett which is not in that Record described at all by any other name that I know of besides Newbold yet the name of the Mannor of Newbold hath been longest preserved in memory in Kinalton where there yet remains some obscure knowledge of it therefore it is not amiss to insert what that famous Record hath of it in this place which shows that Eâ—rl Morcar had a Mannor in it Taxed at three Carucats The Land whereof was eight Car. before the Conquest afterwards King William himself had there 3 Car. thirteen Sochm. thirteen Vill. three Bord. having seven Car. and two Acres of small Wood. There was a Priest and a Church In the Confessours time this was 4l. but in the Conquerours improved to 10l. value In Newbold also was another Mannor which Morcar likewise had for which he paid as ten Bovats to the publick Geld. The Land two Car. There William Pevrell the Conquerours natural son had afterwards in Demesne one Car. ½ and nine Vill. having three Car. and forty Acres of Medow This kept the old value 3l.

D. heretofore Fellow of the same House and after Prebendary of Westminster I do not find exactly how the Sochmen which we now call Free-holders or the Villains now Husbandmen those that held Lands in bondage and were with their whole off-spring totally at their Lords dispose were increased in the time of two hundred years viz. from the time that the Survey of this Mannor was made by King William with the rest till one I find made in the year 1283. which shows that the Rents in money were not much increased amounting at that time in all but to 4l. 13s. 11d. ob and were paid by several small parcells customarily at ten or eleven Feasts or Seasons in the year unequally viz. St. Mich. St. Martin Ember in Advent Purification Ember after Ashwednesday quatuor temporum Cinerum Annunciation Easter Pentecost Trinity St. Botulf and Nativity of Mary But the Monastery had other waies to make the utmost profits this Lordship was any way able to yield then as well as the present owners do by the extremest rack Rents now paid which I shall set down that some comparison may be made of times this being near upon four hundred years from the former account as that was two hundred from Doomsday and this Lordship is as little altered in the use or husbandry of it as any that I know in the whole County for there is but 22l. 13s. 4d. of inclosure now belonging to it in all the Territory To proceed then with the middle Survey the Priory had besides the money two Hens and a Cock at Michaelmas and forty Hens and an half at Christmas and two Capons at Whitsunday and fourteenscore and three Eggs at Easter besides an uncertain proportion of paunage of Hogs or Swine feeding and likewise their Summage or Rent Corn which was forty quarters and two bushels which two bushels according to the continued phrase of this County make half a quarter or four London bushels which here are called four Strikes whereof two make a bushel This Corn was yearly paid by eighteen several Tenants whereof eight paid three quarters apiece and eight more half so much viz. each one quarter and two bushels and the other two Tenants each of them two quarters and one bushel And each Bovat of Land ought yearly at Blyth the carriage of six bushels of Corn. Another part of the profits was made out of the Services of the Tenants in ordering the Demesne and otherwise as by an Inquisition taken in the Chappel of Elleton the Thursday after the Feast of All Saints in the year of our Lord 1283. by Robert de Bâ—kyngham then Steward to the Priory concerning the Diets or daies labour of the Bond-men of Elleton appeareth which day William de Pavely and Gilbert praepositus the Reeve being sworn said upon their Oaths That every Bovat or Oxgang as we now call them of Land of the Bondmen of Elleton ought two daies work in every Week viz. in one Week Munday and Thursday and in another Munday and Saturday and so of the rest and he who hâ—ld two Bovats ought four daies work or diets viz. Munday Tuesday Thursday and Saturday and if any of those daies between Michaelmas and Lammas happened to be a Festival it was quit but from Lammas to Michaelmas another day was to be given for it in that Week And they further said that every Bovat ought to Plow halt an Acre through the year and for that plowing it was freed that week from one Diet or daies work And he or those who held the Bovat ought that same half Acre of Land trahare sarclare metere and cariare to Harrow or Clott Weed Reap and Carry and for every of those to be freed from half a daies work They said likewise that every Bovat ought trahare to Harrow one day in the time of Wheat and another in the time of Pease or Barley and every Bovat was to make carriage thrice in the year to Blith every time half a quarter of Corn. The carriage made in Winter was for three daies in Summer but for two daies work And they said that he that held one Bovat or Oxgang of Land was to find half a Cart in Winter to carry Wood out of the Forrest of Shirewode and he who held two Bovats a whole Caâ—t and then they should be freed from one Diet or daies

Kilvington Chelvington IN this Town there was Sok to Newark of the Bishop of Lincolnes Fee as much as paid the Geld for one Bov. Here was some also Soc to Sibetorpe of Ilbert de Lacies Fee but the Mannor in Chelvington and Alvreton which one Colegrim had before the Conquest was the chief part which he then discharged to the publick Tax or Geld for three Bov. The Land being two Carucats After the Conquest Hugh the Sheriff son of or Fitz-Baldric had it of whom one Ausger held it and had here two Car. and one Sochm. of half the Land and three Vill. two Bord. having two Car. and twenty Acres of Medow The value of this in King Edward the Confessors time was 30s. in King Williams but 20s. The next to Ausger that I have seen was in the time of Henry the second William Morin who married Beatrix daughter of Randulf and sister of Robert to whom he confirmed two Bovats of Land one in Kilvington and the other in Alurington which the said Robert's father had given him to be held of the said William Morin for 2s. per annum These two Bovats were confirmed to this Robert son of Randulf also by Ranulf Morin son of the said William Morin to whose Deed were also Witnesses Ranulf the Clark and Eustacinus Bailiffs of Newerch Malger de Staunton Galfr. de Musters William de Stâ—kes Raph son of Robert de Sibetorp c. This Ranulf Morin was living and Lord of this Mannor in the former part of the Reign of Henry the third William Morin succeeded him and in the time of Edward the first three of these Morins married the three daughters of Oliver de Lovetot of Carcolston as in that place is shown Robert Morin had Ioan the eldest Ranulf his brother had Isabell the second and William Morin had Alice the youngest of the three which were sisters and at length heirs of Iohn de Lovetot son of the said Oliver William Morin had a son called Robert who held this Mannor of Hugh de Rabaz of Ardingworth by the service of 3s. 4d. which said service he the said Hugh 21 E. 3. conveyed to
Soc of Stantune here was also of his Fee another parcell Soc to Cotes now Cotham which paid the Dane-geld as one Bov. ½ The Land being one Car. There was twenty four Acres of Medow There five Sochm. had one Car. ½ and twenty four Acres of Medow Here was also a Mannor in Flodburge which Vlvric had before the Conquest and discharged it to the publick Tax for two Bovats The Land then was certified to be one Car.

I find William but I think most of their Lands were gone first yet in some writings it is still called Flawborough del How Galfr. Bugge of Wester Leke in 26 E. 1. sold to Sir William de Staunton six Bov. and an half of Land with the Villains in Flawburgh for fifty Marks to be paid in the Mannor House of Sir Richard de Bingham brother of the said Galfr. Bugge The greatest part of this Township became the possession and inheritance of the Family of Staunton shortly after as I guess for in the Record of Nomina Villarum 9 E. 2. it is certified to be half a Villa and Sir William de Staunton Lord of it where Kilvington Staunton and Alverton answered for a whole one and Sir William de Staunton and Robert Morin were Lords However when the exchange in Kilvington was made that Markhams part wherein 't is like was also some or all of that share belonging to Cotham came to the Stauntons it made it entirely enough theirs but it was not very long so for in the time of the late troubles it was sold by the then Earl now Duke of Newcastle or his Trustees to Sir Iohn Cropley whose son hath been at great charge and loss to spoil a good Lordship for Corn by inclosing and depopulating it as we think Some of this Town was of Orston Soc as in that place is mentioned viz. some of the lower Town called Dalington and 26 H. 3. held by Roger Bozon this is still in Orston Parish but the main of the Township is Parish to Staunton Mr. Cropley I see is now rebuilding some good Farm-Houses viz. 1675. but the Lordship I doubt will not hastily recover its former state Shelton IN Sceltune and Colingham was a Mannor of the Fee of Raph de Limesi who had Thorpe and Holton and one in Dordenthorpe in this Wapentak This was rated to the Geld at five Bov. and an half The Land four Car.

Richard de Heriz left a son also of his own name his heir under age whom the said Book of Newstede mentions to be granted to Sir Iohn de Mounteney Knight by the King and that Sir Iohn sold his Wardship and marriage to one Iohn de Bughton of Wellum who married him under age to his daughter Elizabeth in the time of the Eyre 3 E. 3. Richard de Heriz and Elizabeth his wife by a Fine levied at York the day after St. Iohn Baptist 11 E. 3. passed two parts of this Mannor and the third part which Margery the wife of Thomas Dayvill of Egmanton had then in Dower after her decease to Richard de Bughton and his heirs paying them 40l. per annum during their lives The Book of Newstede saith this Richard de Bughton was an Ecclesiastical person and that the said Richard de Heriz gave this Mannor to Richard the brother of his wife who first died and then his said wife in the aforesaid Pestilence and that after their deaths he the said Richard de Heriz enfeoffed William de Wakebrigge and others to give to the Priory of Newstede to make and found Chantries but having a sister called Idonea the wife of Iohn del Furmery who had both sons and daughters he was by her and other friends within three daies after perswaded to revoke that and settle it on Robert del Furmery her son who was to have married Cecily the sister of Elizabeth before named but he did not so dying without issue it remained to the said Idonea and her heirs who gave only two Bovats to Newstede By an Inquisition taken at Nott. the Saturday next after the Feast of St. Michael before Thomas Mapurley and his fellow Commissioners 7 H. 6. it appears that the Knights Fee which Richard de Heriz formerly held in Stapleford was then in five parts whereof the Prior of Newstede had one Thomas Columbell one Nicholas Stapleford one Robert Matley another and William Iohnson another Robert Matley had a daughter and heir called Margaret the wife of Iohn Davenport Esquire whom the Jury 32 H. 6. found to be but seventeen years of age and that Elena Vernon mother of Richard Vernon and sometimes wife of Robert Matley and after of William Heresse had in Dower here the third part of half the Water Mill and two Mess. six Bovats and the third part of 5s. Rent c. This part I guess now to be my Cousin Hollingworths who hath the Water Mill and considerable Lands in this Town Columbells part is sold to Edward Manley The Lands which belonged to the Priory of Newstede I suppose most of them were Iohn Brodbents to whom William Cambden Clarenceaux 45 Eliz. 1601. granted for his Arms Party per pale Ermine and Azure a Fesse Wavy Gules the Crest a Pheon his daughter and heir Mary Broadbent was married to Gervas Iackson by whom she had George Iackson the Chief Constable the present owner In the year 1612. I find the owners to be Iohn Brodbent who had ten Oxgangs William Greyseley four Oxgangs George Clarke four Thomas Mere two Peter Columbell Gent. four Oxgangs Francis Hollingworth fourteen Oxgangs and Gervas Teverey Gent. forty Oxgangs He purchased the Lord Sheffeilds Lands in this Town whereof mention is made in Chillwell and inherited a good share in this Lordship besides some at Thrumpton and Sandiacre which was most anciently the Staplefords and descended to the Teveryes formerly resident at Long Eaton in the County of Derby in which they had Lands in several other places but
a-year and that Iohn son of the said Warin was his next heir The Jury 7 H. 6. found that William Skevington Esquire held the Mannor of Cosshale of King Henry the fifth by the Service of the fourth part of a Knights Fee of the Honour of Peverell and that Humfrey Skevington his son and heir was one and twenty years of age the first of Iune then past The Jury 13 H. 6. found that Humfrey Skevington held this Mannor of Cossale by the Service of the twentieth part of a Knights Fee the day that he died and that Hugh Skevington was his brother and heir it was 23 May 11 H. 6. in the Kings hands because Hugh was under age and Humfrey dead In a Recovery 15 H. 7. Sir Henry Willoughby Knight claimed against Iohn Marmion Rob. Laurense Clark and Rob.

Rent in Lenton and Cossale The Mannor of Cossal alias Cossal Marsh late belonging to the Monastery of Newstede and in the occupation of Francis Willughby 21 Iuly 10 Eliz. was granted to Percivall Bowes and Iohn Moysier Gentlemen The Monastery of Dale had a Wood of fifteen Acres in Shortwood in the Parish of Cossale 9 Iuly 14 Eliz. granted to Sir Christopher Hatton The Priory of Felley had a portion of Tythes in Cossale which King Iames 2 March 2 Iac. granted to Sir Iohn Ramsey Knight and Thomas Emerson This place remains to the Willughbyes and George Willughby Nephew of the last Sir Francis hath a Seat there Strelley Stradleg And Straley IN Straley were three Mannors two whereof were of William Peverells Fee but the third was of the Land of the Taynes and had been Vlchels who paid for it to the Geld as three Bovats The Land of it being so much In the Conquerours time Vlsi and Godwin held it of the King and had there four Vill. one Bord. In the Confessours time this was 4s. value then but 3s. One of the other Mannors before the Normans came was Godrics and paid to the Dane-tax as six Bovats The Land of it being for six Oxen. Afterwards in King Williams time Godwin the Priest had one Car. three Vill. two Bord. having two Car. this kept the old value 10s. The other Mannor was Bruns before the Conquest which was then rated to the Geld at three Bovats This Ambrose held of William Peverell being valued at 12d. though in King Edward the Confessours time it was 3s. The next owner that I have met with any certain knowledge of was Walter de Stradlegh who married Isilia the widow of William de Moiz in or near the time of King Henry the first as in Chillewell is said by whom he had a son called Samson de Stradleg who 22 H. 2. gave account for ten Marks of his amercements in the Forest. In King Richard the firsts time this Samson suffered much as most of our Nottinghamshire Gentry did for being in Rebellion with Earl Iohn William Briewer the Sheriff 6 R. 1. accounting for half a year reckons for 46s. 3d. of the Land of Samson de Stradley then seised by the King as other of his Enemies Lands and Goods at that time were This Samson gave account 7 R. 1. of four Marks for having his Land again but it seems 10 R. 1. that it cost him thirty Marks to have seisin of his Fathers Land because he was with Earl Iohn who as it appeareth esteemed him well when he was King In the fifth year of his Reign he sent his Precept dated at Tikehull the nineteenth of February to William Briewerr to deliver to this Samson de Stratleg the Mannor of Horseley in Darbyshire for his sustentation while he had the Castle of Horestan the Seat of the Burons not very long before His son Walter de Stradleg 9 Ioh. was reckoned to owe a Falcon for having seisin of the Land which was his Fathers at the time of his death This Walter and Hugo de Capella married the heirs of Robert de Sumervill of Oxton Philip brother I suppose of Walter de Strelley had the custody of the heir of this Walter from Galfr. de Mandeville to whom King Iohn gave it Cecilia wife of Walter had the third part for Dower his Land out of which she had it was then valued at 100s. per annum Philip de Stradleg seems to have had some good interest in Geoffrey Fitz-Peter Earl of Essex because 7 Ioh. he was his pledge for the Fine viz. 10 Marks one Palfrey and one Falcon which the said Philip gave the King for having the post-humous daughter of Richard Fitz-Roger to wife with her Land belonging to her besides I perceive that G. Fitz-Peter made the Fine of twenty Marks and one good Palfrey for having the custody of the Land and heir of Walter de Stradlye which in 4 H. 3.

When the Conquerours Survey was taken one Richard held it who probably was Father or Ancestor of Raph called Brito who together with his son Reginald de Anesleia gave the Church of Felley to the Priory of St. Cuthbert of Radeford near Wirkesop in the year 1156. 2 H. 2. which was shortly after confirmed by Pope Alexander the third in the second year of his Pontificate in the year of our Lord 1161. I find in the Pipe Rolls 22 H. 2. that Reginald de Anneslega gave account of one hundred Marks of the Amercements of the Forest.
